Let S be a set of all six-digit integers.

Let S1 be a subset of S, including all members of S such that each consists
of distinct digits.
Let S2 be a subset of S1, including all members of S1 each with 5 being the difference between its largest digit and its lowest one.
Let S3 be a subset of S2, comprising all elements of S2 divisible by 143.

What is the cardinality of S3 ?

Explain your way of reasoning.

Hints/Tips Where is the KISS solution | Comment 6 of 9 |
I hoped someone will present a simple analytical solution.

2 hints:
1st
S2 contains all 6 digit numbers such that each is a permutation of six successive  digits, like 215364 or 785346.

2nd
Forget 143-it is a red herring.
Show that none of S2 members can be divisible by 11.
It is very easy.
